| ---Not available. NOTE: These test scores are from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The scores range from 0 to 500 in each test, but the distribution of the scores varies by subject. Therefore, direct score comparisons among the subjects should be avoided. Includes public and private schools. Excludes students unable to be tested due to a limited proficiency in English or due to a disability (and the accommodations provided were not sufficient to enable the test to properly reflect the students' proficiency in history.) Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
